I never buy outside of my means, ie, I’m not in credit card debt, I have rent each month and I can afford groceries but I’m a poor uni student and I spend SO on random stuff! Mostly sweets, snacks, art supplies, and commissions/hyperfixation/special interest stuff

I constantly want. I’m never satisfied. If I’m sad I want to buy new things like books or video games or stuff off Amazon or Etsy and because I have the money I just do it! But I need to save! Keep it incase of an emergency! Once I’m out of university I need to pay back my loan, pay rent at home, I pay my own phone bill. Rn I’m supposed to be the most frugale ever and I was in my first year but as soon as I moved off campus I had a decent amount of extra money and just…spent it, whenever I pleased and now that’s my habit!

I slow down when I’ve depleted my extra savings (I have rent in one and extra in another, I never have anything in checkings unless I need it because I just use my credit card which only has a 1k limit) this is all government money btw, I only work 1 day a week which pays for my groceries and that’s it

How tf do I get outta this habit? I always feel so awful when I spend money because I do it so frequently but I can’t help it, any advice is appreciated!!🥲
